Hi Gang;

We're overdue for a release. I'd like to feature freeze on April 21 and
release not too long after that. I ran through the commits since 0.17
and we are missing quite a few NEWS items.  I tried to filter the
commits down a bit; please send NEWS patches for things you think are
important user visible changes.  People are encouraged to write NEWS
patches for Jani, since he wrote feature patches for you ;).
